I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2014
Interview
Applied online 4/10/14. Contacted via email 4/10/14. 4 interviews with 6 managers between 4/15/14 - 5/20/14. Received excellent offer 5/28/14. There were little to no technical questions asked, nothing more detailed than "what do you like about Apple products?"
I interviewed 1:1 and 2:1 four separate interviews, with different levels of managers, ending up with an interview with the district manager then finally an offer from the store manager. It is ALL about your personality, your genuineness, your ability to communicate, and your ability to connect with others. Be yourself, if your quirky and funny, be that, just don't be fake and mechanical. This was the best interview process I have ever participated in!
Long interview process for most roles at Apple. Three phase interview with about 3-4 questions each. A lot of name a time where something happened questions. Be prepared with a lot of specific examples

Question 1
Name a time where you had a complex issue. How did you handle it
There are three rounds of interviews. First one is basic. Second means you passed the first round and questions are more in depth. Third you get down to the specifics.

The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple (Houston, TX) in Jan 2020
Interview
There are multiple interviews, with different leaders at a given location. The process takes multiple days, and they maintain contact throughout. They ask questions that determine your thought process and how you handle specific situations, not necessarily questions relating to specific tasks to be done for the job you are applying.
